Post subject: Privacy, do you have it?
In the spirit of having more threads that are a tad more specific, her is an article about Apple knowing too much about you (surprise surprise).
The Guardian
iPhone keeps record of everywhere you go
Security researchers have discovered that Apple's iPhone keeps track of where you go and saves every detail of it to a secret file on the device which is then copied to the owner's computer when the two are synchronised.
The file contains the latitude and longitude of the phone's recorded coordinates along with a timestamp, meaning that anyone who stole the phone or the computer could discover details about the owner's movements using a simple program.
For some phones, there could be almost a year's worth of data stored, as the recording of data seems to have started with Apple's iOS 4 update to the phone's operating system, released in June 2010.
"Apple has made it possible for almost anybody a jealous spouse, a private detective with access to your phone or computer to get detailed information about where you've been," said Pete Warden, one of the researchers.
Only the iPhone records the user's location in this way, say Warden and Alasdair Allan, the data scientists who discovered the file and are presenting their findings at the Where 2.0 conference in San Francisco on Wednesday. "Alasdair has looked for similar tracking code in [Google's] Android phones and couldn't find any," said Warden. "We haven't come across any instances of other phone manufacturers doing this."
Simon Davies, director of the pressure group Privacy International, said: "This is a worrying discovery. Location is one of the most sensitive elements in anyone's life just think where people go in the evening. The existence of that data creates a real threat to privacy. The absence of notice to users or any control option can only stem from an ignorance about privacy at the design stage."
Warden and Allan point out that the file is moved onto new devices when an old one is replaced: "Apple might have new features in mind that require a history of your location, but that's our specualtion. The fact that [the file] is transferred across [to a new iPhone or iPad] when you migrate is evidence that the data-gathering isn't accidental." But they said it does not seem to be transmitted to Apple itself.
Although mobile networks already record phones' locations, it is only available to the police and other recognised organisations following a court order under the Regulation of Investigatory Power Act. Standard phones do not record location data.
MPs in 2009 criticised the search engine giant Google for its "Latitude" system, which allowed people to enable their mobile to give out details of their location to trusted contacts. At the time MPs said that Latitude "could substantially endanger user privacy", but Google pointed out that users had to specifically choose to make their data available.
The iPhone system, by contrast, appears to record the data whether or not the user agrees. Apple declined to comment on why the file is created or whether it can be disabled.
Warden and Allan have set up a web page which answers questions about the file, and created a simple downloadable application to let Apple users check for themselves what location data the phone is retaining. The Guardian has confirmed that 3G-enabled devices including the iPad also retain the data and copy it to the owner's computer.
If someone were to steal an iPhone and "jailbreak" it, giving them direct access to the files it contains, they could extract the location database directly. Alternatively, anyone with direct access to a user's computer could run the application and see a visualisation of their movements. Encrypting data on the computer is one way to protect against it, though that still leaves the file on the phone.
Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant at the security company Sophos, said: "If the data isn't required for anything, then it shouldn't store the location. And it doesn't need to keep an archive on your machine of where you've been." He suggested that Apple might be hoping that it would yield data for future mobile advertising targeted by location, although he added: "I tend to subscribe to cockup rather than conspiracy on things like this I don't think Apple is really trying to monitor where users are."
The location file came to light when Warden and Allan were looking for a source of mobile data. "We'd been discussing doing a visualisation of mobile data, and while Alasdair was researching into what was available, he discovered this file. At first we weren't sure how much data was there, but after we dug further and visualised the extracted data, it became clear that there was a scary amount of detail on our movements," Warden said.
They have blogged about their discovery at O'Reilly's Radar site, noting that "why this data is stored and how Apple intends to use it or not are important questions that need to be explored."
The pair of data scientists have collaborated on a number of data visualisations, including a map of radiation levels in Japan for The Guardian. They are developing a Data Science Toolkit for dealing with location data.
Davies said that the discovery of the file indicated that Apple had failed to take users' privacy seriously.
Apple can legitimately claim that it has permission to collect the data: near the end of the 15,200-word terms and conditions for its iTunes program, used to synchronise with iPhones, iPods and iPads, is an 86-word paragraph about "location-based services".
It says that "Apple and our partners and licensees may collect, use, and share precise location data, including the real-time geographic location of your Apple computer or device. This location data is collected anonymously in a form that does not personally identify you and is used by Apple and our partners and licensees to provide and improve location-based products and services. For example, we may share geographic location with application providers when you opt in to their location services."
Map of Europe and chart of the actual data in the full article.
Facebook is another big problem - remember the ads that used your friend's faces? Well someone made up a scorecard related to privacy. Results - depressing.
A lot of links in the article so it is worth reading on the actual site.
Whos Screwing You Over on Privacy Issues? Pretty Much Everybody
Dropbox--flamed this week for revealing that it will hand over your stored files to the feds if requested--is not alone in its willingness to throw users' privacy under the proverbial bus.
Nor is Apple, under the gun today after a revelation by O'Reilly Radar that 3G iPads and iPhones keep track of users' locations in unencrypted files.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation recently released its annual Privacy and Protection Report Card, rating the largest online players' performance in four categories:
Telling users about data demands
Being transparent about government requests for information
Fighting for user privacy in the courts
Advocating for privacy before Congress
EFF asks the provocative question, "When the government comes knocking, who has your back?" The discouraging but unsurprising answer appears to be, "You better have your own," because almost everybody failed.
As ZDNet's Violet Blue said, "They've either got your back in a pinch, or they'll sing like yellow canaries when the chips are down and sacrifice you without a second glance."
How the Big Boys Did
Among the tech firms whose performance on privacy issues can best be described as "not terrible:" Google (two stars plus two half-stars), Amazon (two stars) and Twitter (one star and two half-stars).
Google was the only surveyed company to rate something in all four categories, giving it a solid grade of C. Google got props from the EFF for citing user privacy as it pushed back in court against a request for search records, and for regular reporting about how and when they provide data to governments around the world.
Amazon and Twitter received props for their handling of requests for individuals' data, and Yahoo earned a star for resisting subpoenas of a user's email records.
Microsoft, Facebook and AT&T earned one star each for lobbying Congress on privacy concerns.
Coming up completely empty: Apple, Comcast, MySpace, Skype, and Verizon.
Privacy-minded users have already kicked themselves off Facebook and sworn off FourSquare and cloud-based anything. They won't get much additional benefit from a privacy bill rolling out on Capitol Hill.
The Commercial Privacy Bill of Rights, introduced in the Senate last week by strange bedfellows John McCain and John Kerry, got a lukewarm review from EFF's Rainey Reitman: "The bill's most glaring defect is its emphasis on regulation of information use and sharing, rather than on the collection of data in the first place. For example, the bill would allow a user to opt out of third-party ad targeting based on tracking--but not third-party tracking."
Moreover, Reitman adds, a loophole in the legislation allows sites like Facebook to step neatly around privacy protections: "A user would surrender any right to opt out of being tracked by Facebook or Google simply by having an account with them."

if I had gone iPhone instead of android, i would totally have immediately hacked my phone to get at the location/timestamp data and made a heat map of my movements overlaid on google maps, solely for my own curiosity.
since I didn't have an iPhone, I suppose i'll just have to suffice with, say, having a phone that isn't stalking me because its maker has a controlling and paternalistic idiot attitude towards its customers.
Good consolation prize, i think ~~

I like how that reads like a press release. "Somali pirates said on Sunday they would lower some of their ransom demands to get a faster turnover of ships they hijack in the Indian Ocean." Is there a Somali pirate spokesperson? Do they know that the cost of labor - food and water and what not - is the largest hit on the PNL? Perhaps to maintain margins they should layoff some of their pirates until the economy picks up and boat traffic increases to meet hijacking production quotas.

A smartphone has turned me into the annoying, looking up all tiny conversation conflicts, random questions, and random topics tangentially related to what we were talking about (red pandas, go!).
I have no problem with this. Isn't looking things up what smartphone are for??? Apparently it irritates other people but I think it is just what we should do with smart phones.

Original Formula For Women- 10 Bottles and Save $50 WAIT LIST
Regular price
Receive $50 off for every 10 bottles of Dr. Lewenberg's Original Formula you purchase at once! Set yourself up for success and enjoy these sizzling savings!
It is important to use the Dr. Lewenberg's Formula that is designed for your hair type to get the best results. Using Dr. Lewenberg's Formula can help you regrow your hair and prevent future hair loss in 6 ways:
- Repairs damaged and dying hair follicles and can even create new hair follicles by stimulating stem cells in the hair follicle and the living layers of the scalp.
- Regrow hair all over the scalp, including the frontal hair line (unlike other products on the market)
- Grow hair faster, by increasing circulation to existing hairs and hair follicles
- Increase the length and thickness of your existing hair and the new hair you grow
- Grow your hair longer, by increasing the duration of the growth cycle of the hair.
- Safely block DHT, the hormone associated with male and female pattern hair loss, and stops it from reaching your hair follicles. This is without the unwanted side effects of taking internal/oral medications/supplements.
Both Dr. Lewenberg's Original Formula and Dr. Lewenberg's Improved Formula contain the same active ingredients. You should use Dr. Lewenberg's Original Formula if you have:
- Straight hair
- Wavy Hair
- Normal to oily hair
- Normal to oily skin
If you are African American, or have dry hair, have curly hair, the combination of an oily scalp/but dry hair, have skin conditions like dandruff, eczema or psoriasis, have dry or sensitive skin, have an auto-immune condition (like Alopecia Areata, Alopecia Totalis, Alopecia Universalis), or have a thyroid condition, you will need to use Dr. Lewenberg's Improved Formula to get the best results.
Dr. Lewenberg's Improved Formula contains a proprietary blend of natural herbal extracts to further reduce levels of DHT, the hormone associated with female pattern balding. While the Improved Formula is more potent in suppressing DHT, it does not cause the side effects associated with internal medications and is safe for women to use.
NOTE: It takes 3 months to start to see proper results. You will not see results unless you use the proper amount for you and your condition over a 3 month period. Unless otherwise directed, during the Regrowth phase you will use 3 bottles per month to regrow your hair. Contact us to tailor the treatment to your needs so that you get the fastest and most effective treatment.

Spring 2009 Issue
Service Call
Heeding a national call to service, more than 200 Barry University volunteers joined together January 17 to recognize the Martin Luther King Day holiday as a "day on," not a day off.
Barry students, faculty and staff led service efforts in Miami's Overtown and Liberty City areas, landscaping a housing facility and painting and landscaping one of the nation's oldest public housing communities.
Students working at the Town Park Village condos in Overtown shoveled mulch, dug holes, planted and watered, building an environmentally sustainable landscape completely comprised of native Florida foliage. Others served at a project headed up by Hands on Miami, painting and planting at Liberty Square in Liberty City. The service component of Martin Luther King Day was designated by Congress in 1994, inspired by King's words "everybody can be great because everybody can serve." It is the sixth year Barry University has participated in the Martin Luther King Day challenge; although the event received renewed attention this year with President Obama's call to service.

Global programs
Until recently, premature birth and birth defects, which affect 23 million babies worldwide, were not recognized as significant public health priorities by international health agencies, governments or donor organizations. Lack of evidence on the global, regional and country toll, misperceptions about causes of newborn deaths, and limited public awareness led to the inattention to these problems.
The March of Dimes has worked hard to change this. In 1998, the March of Dimes established its Global Programs to bring the high global toll of birth defects and preterm birth to the attention of governments, policy makers and donor organizations and to offer solutions in response. In the past 15 years, Global Programs has partnered with local organizations in 33 developing countries on four continents to strengthen prevention and care through development of surveillance systems, education of health professionals, raising public awareness and strengthening parent/patient and other grass-roots organizations.
Global Programs conducts its work through mission alliances-organizations that share the March of Dimes mission to improve birth outcomes, in a targeted country or region. Within the partnership, the complementary strengths of the March of Dimes and the partner organization are mobilized to carry out surveillance and health in a country or region of the world in a cost-effective and efficient manner. Each partnership becomes an integral component of March of Dimes Global Programs activities.
The ideal partner for a mission alliance is an organization that: (1) has an established presence in the target country, including legal status and a local infrastructure; (2) shares our mission to improve the health of babies; and, (3) demonstrates financial health and stability. Programs are designed to reach goals consistent with the mission of the March of Dimes and its partner organizations through development of flexible, yet focused initiatives with measurable outcomes.
One example of our partnerships is the March of Dimes Global Network for Maternal and Infant Health® (GNMIH), a collaboration of March of Dimes Global Programs with three of our strongest partners sited in Peking University, (China), the American University of Beirut, (Lebanon) and the Institute of Human Genetics of the National Institutes of Health, (Philippines). The main aim of the GNMIH is to foster the sharing of expertise, resources, knowledge and experience in research and project implementation strategies across partner sites. Current cross-cutting activities include surveillance of birth defects and preterm births, education of primary care providers on diagnosis and appropriate referral; and community health education, especially targeting girls and young women. The GNMIH is also developing a global volunteer youth network of students and young professionals to assist its community health education projects.
Recognizing the need for data to highlight the importance of global toll of birth defects and preterm birth, Global Programs led efforts to publish the March of Dimes Global Report on Birth Defects (2006) and Born Too Soon: The Global Action Report on Preterm Birth (2012). These landmark reports presented first-ever country level data to inform researchers, policy makers and funders about the need for action to prevent birth defects and preterm birth and to reduce death and disability associated with these conditions. Furthermore, the March of Dimes has conducted and contributed to numerous international conferences and strategic meetings to foster networks among developing and developed country experts and to promote policy, programs and best practices address the issues related to preterm births and birth defects.

New lab to give scientists underwater access
By DONNA GORDON BLANKINSHIP
Of the Associated Press
SEATTLE — Scientists are eager for access to information from a quarter-billion dollar lab at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean that they hope will teach them about climate change, earthquakes and even the origins of life on Earth and other planets.
The $239 million National Science Foundation project will install video cameras, seismic monitors and other gauges along a volcano in deep waters off the Pacific Northwest coast, giving researchers the ability to monitor activity 2 miles below the ocean surface.
The project could potentially warn of earthquakes that would threaten the Seattle area, according to scientists.
"It really will make a huge difference," said University of Washington oceanography professor John Delaney, who is leading the effort.
Thanks to nearly 600 miles of electrical wires and Internet cables this project will provide continuous information, separating it from other efforts. Oceanographers have dropped information collecting devices into the ocean before, but those devices were battery-powered and only able to record a snapshot of data. They also have used satellite images to study the oceans, but they haven't provided information much below the surface.
The potential topics of exploration off the Oregon and Washington coast include earthquakes, volcanos, animal migration, climate change, ocean acidification and exotic microbes. It also will prepare researchers to study oceans on other worlds, Delaney said.
The lab insures exploration will no longer be limited by time or bandwidth and multiple research projects can be conducted at the same time, he said.
Project leaders expect challenges.
"I'm assuming it's not all going to work," said Gary Harkins, chief engineer in UW's Applied Physics Laboratory. "We've put 4 ½ years into the design and construction. I'm sure we'll spend the next 20 years trying to improve what we've done."
Harkins expects they're all going to learn a lot this summer, when they take the components out into the ocean to be installed, an operation that is expected to start by the beginning of July.
One issue involves dealing with the water itself. "Corrosion is one of the main enemies down there," Harkins said. He said some equipment they have been testing is made out of airplane grade titanium, which is particularly durable.
Scientists will turn on 40 sensors, of 13 different types, over the summer, and add dozens more next summer. The lab is expected to be fully operational by early 2015.
The sensors and cameras will be placed along two cables. One stretches out 310 miles to cross the Juan de Fuca plate and reach underwater volcanoes and tectonic activity at Axial Seamount. Another goes in a loop about 75 miles offshore but will include instruments in shallower waters.
The observatory will span the Juan de Fuca tectonic plate. It's part of the national Ocean Observatories Initiative, and has grown out of a more than 20-year quest to improve knowledge of the oceans and share data among scientists and the public.
Several universities are contributing. A team from the University of Washington is building and installing the lab. The University of California at San Diego is establishing the online infrastructure. Oregon State University will help build the lab and set up land components at Pacific City, Ore. Rutgers University, the University of Maine and the Raytheon company are working on education and public engagement.
Related projects are being considered to study the ocean off Alaska, the U.S. East Coast and near Argentina and Chile. The University of Victoria already has a smaller observatory in Canadian waters.
"I've been to 14 countries in the past few years. Every one of them wants to know how they can do something around the lines of what we're building," Delaney said.
American scientists have wanted to do something like this for a long time, Harkins said. Until now they were held back by both technology and money, he said.
Both equipment and finances will continue to be a factor in the project. For example, it won't be easy or cheap to make repairs once a remote-controlled device installs the lab.
Everything must connect in simple, consistent ways because the device, which is controlled from above by someone in a ship, will be transporting the components to the bottom of the ocean and then connecting them, explained Larry Nielson, senior field engineer for the Applied Physics Laboratory.
"It's being designed by electrical engineers to be as versatile as possible," added Geoff Cram, senior mechanical engineer. "It will be able to handle instruments in the future that no one has thought of."

September 30, 2013 WIC Update
SUBJECT 1: Updated Policies on WOM October 1, 2013
SUBJECT 2: Program for Dietetic Interns
SUBJECT 3: Autism Spectrum Disorders and ADHD
SUBJECT 4: Midwest Dairy Council Webinar: Kids are Drinking What?
JOB OPPORTUNITY: Nutritionist/Dietitian-Crescent Clinic WIC Jackson County
Updated Policies on WOM October 1, 2013: USDA recently approved two updated WIC Policies. The updated policies are ER # 3.05600, Explaining the FI Redemption Process; and ER # 3.08500, Partial Formula Redemption. The updated policies will be posted on the WOM web site: http://health.mo.gov/living/families/wic/wiclwp/wom on October 1, 2013.
In both policies, the change that was made was to remove "infant" in front of "formula" in several places. This change was made to reduce confusion because formula is not always for an infant.

thesaurus wrote:When you say devoting a month or so to Latin, do you mean you intend to finish your book in that time? It's very important that you first finish whatever textbook you're using, and then continue to practice/use your Latin when you start with Greek. Otherwise, you risk losing the hard-won grammar, which is quick to fade from memory without consistent practice. Due to time constraints I've started and stopped Greek a few times and each time I only succeed in recovering old ground. Don't make my mistake.

St. Joseph County administrator will be on the job at least through 2014.
St. Joseph County administrator will be on the job at least through 2014.
By unanimous vote Tuesday, J. Patrick Yoder was given a one-year contract to serve in the highest non-elected position in county government. Yoder, who was the first county administrator when the position was created in 1990, has served on an interim basis since April, following the retirement of Judy West-Wing in January.
Yoder said Tuesday the offer is appreciated.
"I had hoped it would work out this way … it's very humbling and an honor that the county board feels I've done good enough of a job to offer me a one-year contract," Yoder said.
Yoder, 65, will receive a $105,000 base salary for the year.
In addition, terms of his employment starting Jan. 1 include full benefits, a $500-per-month car allowance and five weeks of vacation. Unused vacation days may be rolled over into the following year or paid out at the end of employment.
Yoder, whose interim status as administrator was approved in February, was being paid a pro-rated amount in 2013 that equaled $85,500 per year. Other terms of the 2013 interim-administrator employment agreement included a car allowance of $400 per month and $2,000 in relocation expenses.
Commissioner Allen Balog said he and board chairman John Dobberteen met with Yoder last week and reviewed feedback yielded by the board regarding Yoder's nine-month performance.
"With everyone's input, we extended an offer to him to stay on as our administrator, going from an interim to a permanent administrator," Balog said.
Dobberteen said the county has been fortunate to have had Yoder as its administrator.
Yoder, who lives in Sturgis, is a native of Suttons Bay. Earlier this year, he was serving as village manager in Three Oaks when he
expressed interest in
returning to work in Centreville.
"It was like hitting the ground running," he said Tuesday, recalling his April return to the position he held for four years in the early 1990s. "It's a job that requires me to be responsive and timely to the needs of the commissioners, the public and the county staff."

(Bloomberg) The top lawmakers on the House Ways and Means Committee disagreed over whether extending tax breaks for research and international finance operations should be offset to prevent the U.S. budget deficit from growing.
Representative Dave Camp, the committee chairman, has suggested making some lapsed tax breaks permanent and letting others expire. Congress has routinely extended many of the breaks without pairing them with spending cuts or tax increases, he said Tuesday.
"If we're going to continue doing that repeatedly," the Michigan Republican said at a hearing, "it's worth at least having this discussion."
More than 50 tax breaks expired Dec. 31, including the research and development tax credit used by companies such as Intel Corp. and the ability to defer global financing income, which benefits General Electric Co. and Caterpillar Inc.
As prospects for broader tax-code changes continue to dim, the expired breaks probably will be the main legislative action on tax policy this year.
Camp said Tuesday that he would begin advancing legislation to permanently extend some tax breaks.
"As you get to some of the smaller items, we might do them as groupings, but we're not going to do them all as one fell swoop here," he told reporters.
The Senate Finance Committee voted April 3 to extend almost all of the breaks through 2015 without covering the cost of more than $85 billion in forgone revenue.
Camp's Approach
Camp's approach differs from the way he handled the expired breaks in the draft revamp of the U.S. tax code he released in February. In that proposal, he started with the assumption that the tax cuts remained expired, which meant that he included enough revenue-raising provisions to pay for continuing the breaks.
Camp, who announced last week that he won't seek re-election, also asked for comments on whether that was the right approach.
Representative Sander Levin of Michigan, the top Democrat on the Ways and Means panel, said Camp was ignoring some expired provisions, such as the New Markets Tax Credit that promotes investment in struggling areas.
"Fiscal responsibility cannot simply be a talking point that is set aside when it comes to providing tax incentives for the chosen few," Levin said.
Many of the lapsed provisions, particularly the research credit, have bipartisan support. The routine lapses in that break and others are inefficient, said James Redpath, a Minnesota accountant testifying at Tuesday's hearing.
"It makes businesses do things they otherwise wouldn't do," he said.
The breaks for U.S.-based multinationals' foreign operations are more controversial. Texas Democrat Lloyd Doggett said they have allowed companies such as GE to reduce their tax rates and remove some income from taxation by any country.

The Church finds itself in a period of great diversification and multiple expressions. In the midst of great change, we have become confused about what really makes for healthy and authentic pastoral leadership. What are the basic and common characteristics necessary for pastors to be effective? How can lay people understand the pastoral call more fully and partner better with pastors for the health of their church? Here Mannoia and Walkemeyer examine the foundations of pastoral effectiveness and bring together nine experienced pastoral leaders to discuss the basic characteristics that exist in effective pastors. Regardless of context or personality, ineffectiveness in pastors and subsequent ill health in churches is often not the result of a lack of calling, but instead is the result of misappropriated efforts to find success. Let's help those who are called to be good stewards of their call. And let's help churches have a chance to be healthy under the leadership of effective pastors!Additional InformationMannoia/Walkemeyer - Paperback Publisher: Baker Pub Group/Baker Books Subject: Church Life Weight: 0.90 lbs isbn13: 9780830744770 isbn: 0801017955 sku: 110925

What is nasal surgery?
Nasal surgery includes any surgery performed on the outside or inside of the nose. A common type of reconstructive and cosmetic surgery, nasal surgery may be performed to accomplish the following:
- Improve breathing
- Correct congenital or acquired deformities
- Change size or shape of nose (cosmetic)
- Repair nasal injuries
What are the different types of nasal surgery?
The following are some of the different types of nasal surgery:
Septoplasty- Septoplasty is the surgical correction of defects and deformities of the nasal septum (the partition between the nostrils). Examples of septoplasty include the following:
- Correction of a deviated septum
- A deviated septum is a condition in which the partition (septum) between the nostrils is not in a straight vertical alignment. A deviated septum can cause obstructed airflow. A deviated septum can be caused by a birth defect or injury.
- Correction of cleft defects that affect the nose and nasal cavity
Rhinoplasty- Rhinoplasty is the surgical repair of a defect of the nose, including reshaping or resizing the nose. Rhinoplasty may be performed to accomplish the following:
- Change the size of the nose
- Change the shape of the nose
- Narrow the nostrils
- Change the angle between the nose and lips
Possible complications associated with nasal surgery:
Possible complications associated with nasal surgery may include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Infection
- Nosebleed
- Anesthesia problems
Preparing for nasal surgery:
The specific type of surgery will be determined by your physician based on:
- Your age, overall health, and medical history
- Severity of the deformity
- Your tolerance of specific medications, procedures, or therapies
- Your opinion or preference
About the procedure:
Although each procedure varies, generally, nasal surgeries follow this process:
Location options may include:
- Surgeon's office-based surgical facility
- Outpatient surgery center
- Hospital outpatient
- Hospital inpatient
Anesthetic options may include:
- Local anesthesia
- General anesthesia
- Average length of procedure: about two hours
Recuperation period:
- Usually up and around in a few days
- Usually return to school or sedentary work a week or so after surgery
- Surgeon will provide guidelines for resuming normal activities
Some possible short-term side effects of surgery:
- A splint may be applied to nose to help maintain the new shape.
- Nasal packs or soft plastic splints may be placed inside the nostrils to stabilize the septum.
- The face will feel puffy.
- The nose may ache.
- You may experience a dull headache, swelling around the eyes, and/or bruising around the eyes.
- A small amount of bleeding is normal in the first few days.
- Small burst blood vessels may appear as tiny red spots on the skin's surface.
Final results:
- Healing is a slow and gradual process. Some swelling may be present for months, especially in the tip of the nose. Final results of nasal surgery may not be apparent for a year or more.
- When a traditional open surgical technique is used, or surgery is performed to narrow flared nostrils, small scars will be located on the base of the nose. The scars usually are not noticeable. Scarring is not visible when rhinoplasty is performed from inside the nose.

Local clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) decide whether to fund IVF (in vitro fertilisation) treatment on the NHS.
Local clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) decide whether to fund IVF (in vitro fertilisation) treatment on the NHS.
Guidance from NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) recommends that up to three IVF cycles should be available on the NHS if:
Women aged 40-42 who have not conceived after two years of regular, unprotected sex or after 12 cycles of artificial insemination should be offered one IVF cycle if the following criteria are met:
Implementation of this guidance by CCGs currently varies as it is only guidance and not mandatory.
Some CCGs apply additional criteria that affect access to NHS-funded IVF treatment. This includes the woman:
The Department of Health has approved a set of standardised access criteria for NHS fertility treatment developed by the patient support organisation, Infertility Network UK.
The length of waiting lists for NHS-funded IVF treatment varies. In some areas, waiting lists can be very long.
If you're eligible for NHS-funded IVF treatment, you will still have to pay prescription charges for fertility medicines, unless you're exempt from prescription charges. See prescription costs for more information.
If you're not eligible for NHS treatment, you may consider paying for private fertility treatment. It's important to choose a private clinic carefully.
See the HFEA website for information about:
If you've been trying for a baby for one year and you haven't conceived, see your GP. You should see your GP sooner than this if you're a woman over 36 or you already know that you may have fertility problems.
Your GP will give you advice on what to do next and carry out an initial assessment to check what might be causing your fertility problems.
IVF is only one of several treatment options that aim to help people with fertility problems to have a baby. Read more information about diagnosing infertility and treating infertility.

After that do I have to check the user name and password stored in session with my database, in every page. Or can I just check wether there is a session avaiable and if the session is available, allow the user to view the page.

We've been expecting an electric sportbike from Brammo for over a month now, getting our first clues from our Bothan spies last week that the bike's launch was imminent. Now we can officially say that the Brammo Empulse is the latest creation from the Ashland, Portland based Brammo, Inc. Continuing Brammo's electric motorcycle offering, the Brammo Empulse represents the first production sportbike to be available by consumers. The Empulse comes in three flavors (Brammo Empulse 6.0, Empulse 8.0, & Empulse 10.0) with differing amounts of on-board power each variant.
With the Empulse 10.0 having a 100 mile range, and costing only $13,995 MSRP, Brammo is offering a potent and affordable package, and when you factor in that federal and state government subsidies that could bring that price down to around $7,000 in some states, you have a motorcycle that could change the way we think about electric streetbikes.
